"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page."
St. Augustine
We are blessed to live in an area of our country that is rich in Mexican culture. From city names to music, from people to architecture, it's a fantastic part of our every day lives. It's so much fun to go to our local flea market or swap meets and watch traditional music performances and devour the delicious authentic food from across the border. Justin loves Mexico and, as I mentioned in a previous blog post, has taken a liking to the The Three Caballeros.
Justin is especially excited about a day that happens once a year at Disneyland, Three Kings Day. Traditionally, it's a holiday celebrated all across Latin America and Spain. "El Dia de los Reyes" celebrates the 'biblical adoration of baby Jesus by the Three Kings.' In the Bible, they are referred as the 'Magi' or in newer translations, 'the wise men'.
Celebrated as an official holiday on January 6th, Disneyland takes part on around that date by throwing a celebration rich in Spanish and Latin American culture. The famous Three Caballeros even make an appearance! I know our family is excited to attend this upcoming January!
Although the Joslyn family doesn't have any Hispanic or Spanish background as far as we know, it's very fun to explore diversity and different heritages. Its great to have an understanding of how amazingly unique each of our backgrounds are — even when you have Autism! :)
